Hello,

A few months ago my power seat on drivers side suddenly stopped working. Today i figured i would try to troubleshoot it. After i unbolted the seat and moved it a little to A look under, the radio playing in the background seemed to cut out for a moment and the dash shut off. It was in accessory at the time. Now when i turn it on im getting no message on the dash warning panel when i turn it on and when i try to turn over I'm getting just a clicking noise but no turn over. Anyone think of anything under the seat that could affect the starter?
 






Did you check all your fuses? Sounds like you have a chafed wire under the seat and when you moved it around you shorted it to ground. Check all the wires carefully under the seat.
